Hello Members,

Thank you to Jennifer McVay for organizing Sunday’s Turkey Trot Race.  We had great weather and many runners and the event was a profitable day!  Jenn has offered to run the race again next year and will get started organizing next year’s race at the end of this school year.  Please email her at Jannsloper@yahoo.com if you would like to be on her committee.  It is such a manageable task when we have lots of time to plan!  Thanks to her helpers:  Jill Donelan, Sally Schiller, Phyllis Wenzel (who should have been home sick in bed), Patti and Danielle Nelson, Karen Driscoll, Caroline Corbin, Betsy Emsing, Nancy Bailey, Steve McVay, and Roger Hatfield (and me too).

Our next event is the Norwell Garden’s Luncheon to be held on December 2nd.  See below for details.  The seniors look forward to a nice home-cooked lunch!  It’s that time of year again – Liz McCarron will be organizing the Festival of Trees for the Cranberry Hospice. She has been creating the hospice tree for many, many years and we thank you Liz!  She always does a great job decorating the tree with things that can then be donated to a charity.  Liz will also host the ornament/cookie swap at her home on Tuesday, December 13^th. I hope many of you can attend this fun, festive night and get away from household duties for a night.

Kathy King Tedeschi is coordinating the annual Adopt a Family program. This is a wonderful way to make the wishes come true during the holiday season. See below for information. Feel free to pass the information along to your friends and family!  The wine tasting event is all set for March 30^th at Black Rock Country Club.  Pat Bigger is coordinating the event and has several committee members but needs a few more.  Please email her atTpbigger@aol.com if you can assist her.  Meeting attendance is not required to help her!

The Women’s Club recently purchased an Adirondack chair for Nick Metzger (and the high school and middle school PTO’s also purchased a second chair).  I delivered both chairs to the family last weekend and they were so appreciative.  Nick is still in the hospital but will enjoy the chairs when he returns home which will enable him to visit with friends (not yet however) by sitting outside in the fresh air.  He will not be able to have visitors inside his home for many months as his immune system is very weak.   I received both chairs at cost from Hanover’s Unfinished Business on Washington Street beyond the Hanover Mall.

Sincerely,
Barb Humphreys, President, Norwell Woman’s Club
